Hello Mike and all, no problem, I do the races I can. The Dble Faralones is a very serious venture and I will do it given the time, the right crew, and the right conditions. I may even do some YRA races. SDK

:: Hi Steve:
::
:: I too thought about nixing crewed Light Ship due to YRA
:: cost, 2 weeks seperation created between dbh'd LS and
:: dbh'd Farallons. Those two reasons in my view are all
:: good reasons to pull crewed Light Ship from the Fun
:: series schedule.
::
:: But I'm going to chose to nix doubleghanded Farallons,
:: because doublehanded LS followed by crewed LightShip one
:: week can be an easier time (or fewer hours) on the
:: course.
::
:: I also think crew Light Ship is a strategic race for the
:: classes visibility. Especailly witht he StFYC gathering
:: afterwards.
::
:: On the flip side that the combination of dbh'd LS, crew
:: LS, might attract some on the fringes who want to ocean
:: race but only do only once in a while. Or, just wabnt
:: something simpler and more Fun then dbh'd Farallons.
::
:: I have no problem with dbh'd Farallons if others feel
:: differently in choosing two out of three ocean races for
:: Spring Season Start UP; but feel dbh'd LS followed by
:: crew LightShip are just easier to do time wise.
::
:: So who out there in express land can chime on for a
:: third, fourth and fifth input?

:: Thanks,

:: Mike
::
:: :: Thanks for the input Steve. Others please chime in.

:: :: :: :: Hi Everyone:
:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: Scheduling committee is prepared to poll the fleet on
:: :: :: :: this one question.
:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: Q. Pick 2 of 3 events in March/April from Island YC
:: :: :: :: doublehanded LightShip, YRA Crewed LightShip, BAMA
:: :: :: :: doublehanded Farallons.
:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: We're asking acknowledging fleet members input that too
:: :: :: :: much racing occurred in too little time through this
:: :: :: :: season start up period last year.
:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: We chose to soft sound for direction figuring this
:: :: :: :: simply technique might answer the question sans polling.
:: :: :: :: Which event to drop?
:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: The committee is primarily interested in hearing back
:: :: :: :: from 2009 participants to the double handed Light Ship,
:: :: :: :: Crewed Light Ship, double handed Farallons. But all
:: :: :: :: inputs are useful from owners who would race 2 out of
:: :: :: :: three of these events in 2010.
:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: Post back to this message board which ONE of the THREE
:: :: :: :: races you'd PULL from the schedule.
:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: Please advise over the next month.
:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: Thanks,
